|discussion=<p>Genera 12, species 76 (11 genera, 45 species in the flora).</p><!--
--><p>In most genera of Ambrosiinae, proximal heads are erect and pistillate and distal heads are pendulous and functionally staminate. In functionally staminate florets, the staminal filaments are usually connate and the anthers are distinct or weakly coherent. Unlike nearly all other composites, such plants are wind-pollinated. Wind-borne pollen from some members of Ambrosiinae (especially ragweeds) are sources of “hay-fever” for some people.</p><!--
--><p>H. Robinson (1981) affirmed inclusion of <i>Parthenice</i> and <i>Parthenium</i> in Ambrosiinae and suggested connections between Ambrosiinae and Clibadiinae and/or Ecliptinae.</p>
